Is 160,000 seriously too much mileage on an acura? I can’t tell you how many of the rich idiots out here won’t let their car go over 70,000 and proceed to tell me that I made a mistake of getting a new engine, when I should have just gotten a new car. :rant: :rant: :rant: ---

I guess its nice if you can afford to get a new car when needed. For the most part though i think regular maintenance will keep most cars running for a long time. ---

Definitely cheaper than new, but you also have to deal with more frequent repairs, breaking down, etc. If you have a 2nd car, not as big a deal though. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mileage/178627.md?page=2)
